Secondary English Teacher

Top 10 things to know about teaching English at the High School level:
  1. A four year degree is required to earn an Instructional 1 certificate. This is a temporary degree which expires after six years unless the teacher takes at least 24 graduate level courses within that time span. Once the graduate coursework is completed, the teacher earns Instructional II certification, which makes the teaching degree permanent.
  2. In Pennsylvania, in order to maintain a professional position, all teachers must earn 180 hours every four years in training, graduate coursework, or higher level education.
